Special primary elections in Utah's 2nd District and Rhode Island's 1st District are the main events in two vacant non-battleground state seats.
Voters head to the polls Tuesday in two special congressional primaries that will likely determine two new members of Congress — one Democrat and one Republican.
Since the primaries in Utah and Rhode Island are both in heavily partisan districts, Tuesday's winners are expected to head to Congress, barring any general election surprise.earlier this year that he would leave Congress in September. To replace him, Republican voters will choose among three conservative candidates with little daylight between them on the issues.
On the economy, government spending, taxes and Ukraine, the candidates are largely in agreement. As a result, such issues as whether they voted for Trump in 2020 or whether a candidate is eligible to be on the ballot have become pivot points. Celeste Maloy, a former congressional attorney for Stewart, has her previous boss's endorsement in the primary. But before her campaign launch, Maloy lived in the Washington, D.C.-area while working for Stewart, and so wasn’t registered to vote as a Republican in Utah.
Maloy won her ballot spot at that convention, while former state lawmakers Becky Edwards and Bruce Hough, a former Republican National Committeeman from the state who previously served as state party chairman, qualified with signatures.
